From first recorded contacts to the end of World War II, Bassler traces the lives of German-speaking fishermen, musicians, doctors, engineers, and entrepreneurs. He reconstructs the historical reality behind U-Boat and spy stories and analyses the change in status of the colony's German-speaking people from neighbours to "enemy aliens." Vikings to U-Boats challenges the assumption that the history of Newfoundland and Labrador was shaped solely by English-speakers from the British Isles.McGill-Queen's studies in ethnic history.Series two ;21.GermansNewfoundland and LabradorHistoryNewfoundland and LabradorHistoryGermansHistory.971.800431Bassler Gerhard P.1937-1463785MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789858803321Vikings to U-Boats3692044UNINA
